LAFITTE, La., Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- All Coast,
LLC, the largest liftboat operator in the Gulf of Mexico, christened its new Class 250
Liftboat, the Great White, on August
20 at C and M Marina in Lafitte,
La. Christening sponsor was Erin
Allemand. The ceremony was attended by guests from the
industry, media and local government, as well as company employees
and management.
The Great White is a 250-foot leg liftboat with state-of-the-art
design, comfortable accommodations, and modern features, such as a
beautiful combination conference room and movie theatre.
The liftboat was designed and built by SEMCO, a well known and
highly regarded liftboat builder. It is equipped with two 175-ton
leg mounted cranes and a large open deck to assist in carrying
equipment and supplies in support of various offshore activities.
The vessel can accommodate 50 people, including private rooms
dedicated for customer representatives.
"SEMCO's name is synonymous with quality construction of the
safest, most reliable liftboats and we are proud to announce that
the Great White is unparalleled to any other 250 class currently
serving our market," said John
Nesser, All Coast Co-CEO and Manager.
The Great White's self-elevating and self-propelled liftboat
design operates in a maximum working depth of 185' of water. It
features nearly 9,000 sq. ft. of deck space for cargo storage with
a maximum deckload capacity of 800,000 lbs. to accommodate heavier
equipment loads.
All Coast's newest vessel is one of the few 250+ class liftboats
operating in the Gulf of Mexico
market. All Coast is the only provider with a fleet of liftboats
ranging in size from the 105 class to the 250 class.
"The Great White is emblematic of our investment in our

ability to cost effectively meet the specific needs of our
customers by having vessels in nearly every class."
